October's monthly dance party

USA DANCE is not a social dance club but rather a broad based volunteer run national non-profit organization serving as a catalyst to establish a great variety of dance related programs and encourage more people to become involved and enjoy the many benefits of dancing -- fun, fitness and social interaction. Our mission is to improve both the quantity and quality of ballroom dancing in the USA. We support and encourage both social dance and competitive aspirations.

A chapter is a group of USA Dance members in a particular geographic location who support our mission and seek to increase interest and opportunities for ballroom dance in their community. Members share their time and talents with their chapter to host social dances, beginner lessons, public demonstrations, workshops, youth programs, competitions and more.

Our chapter volunteers are an important part of fulfilling this mission by planning and co-sponsoring monthly chapter dances, posting a calendar of Rhode Island social dances at riusadance.org, presenting public performances and co-sponsoring the Special Express Dance Team for adults with intellectual disabilities.
